Reproductive Rights & Resistance
<p>Sundays, Feb. 8 AND 15, 2026, 6:30 - 7:30 pm (Eastern) via Zoom, with Lynn M. Paltrow, JD. </p><p>The sessions will be recorded - all registrants will receive the link to recordings. </p><p><strong>Why it is vital to understand and claim abortion, contraception and birth as acts of resistance.</strong></p><p> In 2022, the MAGA Justices on the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.</p><p>Dobbs gave states the authority to ban abortion care. Despite the total and near-total bans in more than 20 states that followed, the number of abortions in the US increased in 2023.</p><p>As one of the Beacon’s first actions, many of us sent letters thanking Dr. Carpenter for her courage in the face of threatened arrest because she was making abortion available through telehealth and the provision of the safe and effective abortion medications Misoprostol and Mifepristone.</p><p>This class will explore the post-Dobbs increase in abortions and whether facilitating or having an “illegal” abortion both before Roe and after Dobbs can or should be understood as a form of mass non-violent civil disobedience.</p><p>-------------------</p><p>This course is offered by The Beacon, open to all – each student makes a contribution as they are able.<strong> <br></strong>Questions?
